Just a reminder, the Spy Monkey Armory Series 1 will be on sale exclusively at www.spymonkeycreations.ecrater.com at $20 per set/colorway starting at 12pm Pacific Time (3pm ET) today. Be sure to check out my review, and also check out the neat designs Matt Doughty of Onell Design created with them. Some notes from SMC: PayPal will be our [...]
I didn’t even realize that the Spy Monkey Armory came with a plug that could be used on Roboto, Trap Jaw and Hurricane Hordak until after I’d taken most of my photos for my review, so here are a few new ones. One important thing to note is that the plug itself (which is larger [...]
Full disclosure: this review will not be entirely objective, because I consider the SMC folks to be my friends. After all, they created both the Dread Axe of Darkness and the Sword of Ages as exclusives for PGPoA. Fortunately, they’ve created such an incredibly awesome product that I feel no guilt in my enthusiasm. Up [...]
Mattel says that the sales of the Wind Raider were “okay,” but evidently not enough to merit a vehicle in 2012 (though they’re not ruling it out for 2013). Like many others, I’m mystified as to why a sellout of a few hours days translates to “okay.” Apparently, if people aren’t fighting the WSOD for [...]
There’s been a lot of Lego news this week. First off is Lego’s new girl-oriented brand. I’ve seen some knee-jerk reactions from geeks that the sets are too girly and that it’s wrong to characterize Star Wars/Indiana Jones sets as solely boy-oriented. I agree with the latter statement, but after reading the article, I don’t [...]

Team members Jeremy Sung, Brian Stevenson and Bill Murphy are the minds behind some of the coolest custom-produced weapons and accessory packs for action figure collectors today. And as a fellow collector it’s always a [...]
FINALLY! It’s been a long time coming, but at last, the new PGPoA has arrived. As you can see, it’s a pretty significant aesthetic change. But webmaster OB1 and I wanted to make the site a bit more modular, allowing me to make easy changes when necessary, so there are some changes behind the hood [...]
With my blessing, Spy Monkey Creations is now selling the original Sword of Ages, along with three brand-new variants.
Chalybeous, the Unpronounceable Hammer of War, is once again on sale at Spy Monkey Creations! I have one of these, and it’s really neat. I haven’t taken any pictures yet because I’m very, very lazy.
The Sword of Ages will finally return next Wednesday, February 9 at 1pm ET. In addition, there will be a very limited number of Dread Axes of Darkness. Both weapons will be available at Poe Ghostal’s Point of Acquisition.
